A letter from Mozart to a friend, the botanist Nikolaus, Joseph von Jacquin, asking him to return three scores, has gone for more than twice the estimate in a Boston online auction.

Mozart wrote: ‘I ask you to send me back with the bearer of this, the Quartet in G minor, the Sonata in E flat and the new Trio in G.’

Anyone know if he got them back?
